I smelled one of my least favorite foods today and thought, wow I am pretty sure most people love this smell (see #1 below). Then I started thinking about all the other food smells that make me want to gag, stomach churn and run far away from them. I know that a lot of odor likes and dislikes are written into people’s DNA, but am I strange or do others agree with anything on the list below?
Bacon - This is number one on my list because it is a food that when I smell it, makes me cringe deep in my soul and want to vomit. I have consumed bacon in the past (It has been about 19 years since I had any) but have never enjoyed the greasy texture or the pungent smell of it sizzling away in the frying pan. I think I just ate it because it was on my burger or sandwich.
Any Pork Product - Sorry, I just don’t enjoy the smell or taste of any pork.
Beets - Makes me want to lose my lunch just thinking about this one.
Cooked Carrots - Love raw carrots.
Fried Chicken - The slimy, hot, crispy in some places, fried chicken is not for me. The smell of it makes me want to become a full-time vegan.
Anything BBQ - Despise all smells resulting in anything that is being cooked on the grill.
White Vinegar - I know it isn’t a food but wow, is that an offensive smell especially when used as a cleaning agent.
